Qatar Lobbyist List: Patton Boggs

In my continuing effort to provide easy access to information about Qatar's US lobbyists, contained below is data culled from Patton Boggs' latest disclosure pursuant to the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

The sizable legal and lobby shop has a long history with Qatar's Emir - when deposing his father in 1995, the Big Fella turned to Patton Boggs for help in freezing dear old dad's bank accounts - and was the first US firm to be licensed to practice law in Qatar, which they do through their Doha office. During this reporting period, the firm also did work for Saudi Arabia, Angola, Cameroon, Ecuador, China, Sri Lanka, India, Cyprus, Malta, Albania, Nigeria, the Korean International Trade Association and the city of Heidelberg, Germany.

Below you'll learn how much Qatar paid Patton Boggs during the first half of 2010 ($358K), a vague description of what services were rendered in return, and a long, long list of all the US politicians who have taken money from Patton Boggs this year.
